Chicago Santas

Santa was great. Very accomodating with photos. Also was very interactive with the children we had at the event.

Very interactive with the children.

Santa (Louie) was a great addition to our City's holiday event. He was great at interacting with kids and adults. He even improvised a little when we hosted the Tree Lighting portion of the event. He was wonderfully jolly.
:)
I would use their services again!

Amazing Santa! Loved him! Great job! He made our event so special! Highly recommend! Thank you!

I like to start off by saying that Santa Ricky was absolutely amazing!!! Honestly it was like having the real Santa Claus in my home. He was so great with the kids and the adults getting everyone involved. He made sure that everyone was able to get a picture. Best choice Santa!!!

Perfect Santa

Santa Ricky was good but a little too rushed in his presentation. I expected him to have each child on his lap and asked what they wanted for Christmas. Granted we were missing 3 young children but he just dug into the bag of presents that we had to purchase and handed them their gift but not before singing Christmas song. He was done in 20 minutes! He did go around into the room with all the other adults and mingled around with them. He did take pics which was good. I think I was just rather surprised when I spoke to him the day before, he said he didn’t read stories nor usually give out presents, therefore does not have a Santa Bag! I had to scramble to find a Santa Bag in time for party! Mission was accomplished but what stress.

The party was a success and thanks to Santa Claus' arrival it was perfected to the last detail. Santa Claus was funny and the children were delighted. Thank you for making my house more magical

He was fun, interactive, accommodating and boy did he look the part! We’re sure to book him next year.

Excellent Santa! Kids and adults both thought he fit the part perfectly.

Santa came on time and was very patient and understood our seniors needs. We had a holiday party for our assisted living facility and he was very good with our residents and families and even the grandchildren. When you have Santa come that is not wearing a fake beard and exaggerate his appearance it so much better. This is the 2nd year he's bee our Santa and we are not disappointed!

Very satisfied Brian was incredible on time and realistic. I will be booking again next year for sure ,Thank you

We had a really wonderful experience - communication was easy and the whole process was easy and joyful!

Santa Louie was the best. The kids really loved him. He was super responsive, timely and really made each kid feel special. 10/10 recommend!

Just as promoted. He was so kind, super fun, and energetic with the kiddos AND adults! Couldn’t possibly recommend him more!

Santa Ricky was THE BEST! He never broke character and was the star of the party. He was willing to go the extra mile and really make the night special. We appreciate all he did for us!

We had a great experience working with St. Rick and would recommend him to anyone!

He was outstanding! Looked like the real deal! Very warm and friendly with all the guests, terrific with the kids!

Santa Ricky was a wonderful addition to our event on Sunday. He was very interactive with the kids and adults!
He was extremely friendly and had a very real live Santa look. We would highly recommend him to anyone!

Santa Ricky was on time, professional, and was very friendly to the children and adults. We would love to invite him back to our annual event.

Could not have had a better experience! Santa was incredible and so patient with all the kids and families that attended our event from newborn-12yrs old! We will def be booking in the future!! Thank you!!!

Santa was not only looked perfect, he was so great with the kids of all ages. So many compliments about Santa!

It was amazing experience

Excellent experience for all! Everyone was thrilled when Santa Keith K showed up on time at the door on Christmas Eve! The kids all enjoyed their gift from Santa and taking pictures with him. Thanks for the memories!

No ho ho ho came in sat down gave the gifts left

Santa was great with the kids!!!!

Super gracious couple. Santa Mark and Mrs Santa came on time, were very professional and super gracious. This kids at our party were loving it. I'd recommend Chicago Santa's every time.

We hired Santa Mike for a neighborhood kids party and he was amazing. Everyone was so excited when they saw him and he had so much personality and charisma, greeted everyone along the path to get to where we had set him up and was in complete control. Very experienced and so warm and friendly. Highly recommend. The moms had fun too!

Santa was wonderful

Our Santa was perfect for our subdivision's Children's Christmas Party! On time & great communication! Handed out gifts we had prepared for him, sang Christmas carols, took pictures with all the families and even did some Freeze Dancing! So awesome with the kids. Cannot thank you enough. Have already been asked multiple times for Santa's info., so they can hire him too. Thank you!!!

We had a corporate party with about 18 adults. Ricky came & warmed the atmosphere & added a lot of Christmas cheer.

This santa was great.

Santa Louie was great!

Santa Bob was spectacular, he interacted with all of our guests and was a joy to have at our Brunch. This definitely isn't a bad thing, but we probably would've wanted him to smell like peppermints to give a Santa smell.

Santa Ricky came to a holiday event we hosted and he was excellent! Wonderful with the kids and just a happy man!

Loved having a Santa come to our house. He was amazing with the kids and they were all in awe. We will definitely make this one of our new family traditions!

Excellent

Santa was fantastic...so friendly and willing to take lots of pictures and talk to the kids! Very happy with Santa!

professional, friendly and patient

On time, very friendly and took time to let each family take a picture. COVID-19 careful which was a huge plus.

Santa Rob did a great job!

Santa was Awesome & Accomodating. He was entertaining, kind & did a great job reading & singing carols with everyone. He even did a video message for the children that were unable to attend. We hope he can visit us again next year.

The kids loved Santa. He asked them questions and the kids were comfortable with him

There was confusion on the starting time. I originally requested 9-11:30 and you suggested that maybe too long for the number of children we were having. I was told 10:00-11:30 would be sufficient.
You requested I submit another request with the new time slot; 10-11:30. I sent the new request via message we were communicating through.
Santa showed up at 9:00 as originally requested instead of 10:00 which my staff was not expecting. Bad communication. We survived and Santa did a good job. Thank you. Merry Christmas. 🎄🎁 🎅🏼

He was ok

Santa was the hit of the party!
The whole restaurant got excited and Santa’s appearance warmed the entire place.

He was very friendly and gracious

Awesome is the only way to describe the appearance!!!

Santa Louie was just wonderful. It was such a special day for everyone

So amazing!!! Great with kids such awesome Santa!!

Bob was great, active with my employees and took as many pictures as we wanted, thank you again!!!

Our Santa was very attentive and aware of the needs of our guests. Due to Covid, we had to reschedule a few times and change locations. He was very understanding and was able to accommodate every one of our requests. 10/10

Santa was great! Interacted with the kids and other guests wonderfully

Santa Ricky was absolutely a pleasure to work with! He was so great with the kids! We will definitely be using him again in the future!

Santa was nice, flexible and accommodating. He arrived on time, asked for details, respected Covid social distancing and made it extremely fun for the kids. The kids loved the interaction. Samta knew their names passed out gifts.

We hired Santa Terry to visit our farm for a private event to visit with the children before Christmas during the pandemic.

I am 43 and I believe in him. I did all the “Santa Checks.” His beard was real and perfect. His suit was fluffy and not flimsy. He had a wonderful demeanor and handed out bells to all the children. He even got along with our dog.

He far exceeded our expectations and we were so impressed with him. We will be hiring him every year. Thank you so much!

A little underwhelmed with our experience. Santa was prompt but didn’t initiate much interaction. I also had to call a day ahead of our scheduled event since no one had reached out for details.

Booking was super easy. Our Santa reached out a few days before to confirm.

We hired Chicago Santas for a short, private visit to our home the week of Thanksgiving as a surprise to our daughter and two cousins. Santa Ricky contacted me prior to the engagement and asked questions about the girls, ages, interests, if they had an Elf on the Shelf, etc. I gave him directions on how to enter the home as a surprise, and it was a HUGE surprise to the kids, as well as my parents! He wore a full face shield, and we all wore masks, so safety was very important (Santa has to stay safe!!). He knew everything about the girls, was engaging, asked questions, and took photos. We could not have been more happy. I think the adults were even more in awe than the children. It truly was the most magical experience we've had this year, and will certainly reach out to them again!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Very friendly with everyone & made our day the best!

Thanks to Santa visit we had amazing, unforgettable Christmas Eve. In this crazy world we need to come back to roots and traditions. We have tons of fun with Santa Tim. Thank you for making our Christmas very special this year.

Hi!! I booked Santa Mark L for our Christmas Party on December 25th 2019. Santa Mark was really rude to me on the phone a couple days before his appearance while I was trying to give him some indication for the address and parking since it was different from the one I have indicated during the booking. He told me to provide also a Santa bag because he didn't have one. How are you supposed to bring the gift? ...
Santa Mark L was very cold with the kids. He didn't know what to do with them. He didn't know how to put together some Christmas entertainment. He just did one song and we took some picture and he asked me what I wanted him to do and he was ready to leave after 20 minutes. He was only a grumpy old man that was wearing a Santa suit.
He started at 3.30pm and he left at 3.50pm just because we didn't know what to do with him. I paid for one hour visit. We were very embarrassed.
I'm honestly very disappointed with this experience.
Bad experience. Never again.

He was great with the kids and made sure everyone was having a good time and participating in the event.

Santa Rick was fantastic. His appearance was on point and the way he spoke and interacted with my children was amazing. It was definitely a night my children and family will remember forever. Thanks so much, Santa Rick!

These two were fantastic. They lit up the room. I think the adults had more fun taking pictures with them than the children. I loved how gracious and cordial they were. They took pictures with people everywhere. I even think they went table to table to spread holiday cheer. I will certainly try to book these two again next year.

Excellent job! Very real and friendly

On time, friendly and patient!

This Santa was very accommodating to our needs. He was early, professional and just an all around nice guy! We’d definitely hire him again.

Our Santa was so amazing amd gentle with all the kids! Very warm, welcoming and patient with the little ones who were crying or nervous! We will definately be booking again, our Santa was as genuine as they come and our photos with him are amazing, money well spent!

Santa Gary was very good with the kids and with the adults.

Thanks so much!! He was everything we expected and more!!!

We had Santa Andy at our boat party. He was mingling with all the kids and parents, dancing on the dance floor and we loved having him. Would recommend to anyone!

We had used Chicago Santas for the last two years for our annual Pizza with Santa event for the park district. Booking with Chicago Santas is extremely easy, Santa contacted me well before the event to go over details and logistics. But most important, Santa was incredible at the event! He arrived early, was extremely patient with all of the kids, looked Incredible and made our event so special! Can't wait to continue to book with Chicago Santa's for many years to come! Thank you thank you!!

Santa arrived on time and was so great with the kids. He was extremely patient, as well as very realistic. Definitely recommend!!!

We had a wonderful experience with our Santa from Chicago Santas! He was on time and looked so real! He even let my little ones pull on his beard. His presence was perfect and he was so nice and warm to each child! Highly recommend Chicago Santas and will use them again next year! Joanna of DRM

Super realistic Santa, reliable, good sense of humor and worked perfectly as a fun addition to the cocktail party

Santa was the genuine article. So friendly with all who visited. And looked so authentic. Was on time and courteous.

Our daycare annual Breakfast with Santa, Santa Pat was awesome, prompt and engaging with the families.

Santa Gary looked the part. I wish he would have stayed in character the entire time. There was only one little one, but the magic of Christmas is in us all. A large part of the time was spent talking with folks about cars wanting to be purchased, other “important” Santa events attended and how those went and back surgeries. We only had 30 minutes. I just wish it felt like Santa was sitting in our living room.

Mark was the best Santa ever! He really took his time with the kids and everyone loved him! He could not have looked more real!!!!

He arrived early which was perfect for our schedule. He was great with the kids and very kind. Would use him again next holiday season.

Patient and kind and so authentic looking!
Best I’ve ever seen!!
Sang songs with the kids and was just terrific !

Highly Recommend !

We were expecting Santa a little bit more active, not just giving kids the present but also telling children maybe a story,read a book or so. Good kids had a loots of questions to "Saint Nicholas " so he could talk a little bit more:)

Santa was very scary looking. Extremely tan (sun burned) supper skinny and his neared was yellow. Never again!

Santa Mark did a great job! The kids loved him!

Santa Robbie was a disappointment. He didn't engage with the kids and in some cases didn't even talk with them. Kids we heard exciting his "Santa House" - Santa didn't even ask me what I wanted for Christmas" - "He didn't even talk". We let him go 15 minutes early. We would not hire him again in the future.

Santa Basil was incredible. With his real beard, glasses and demeanor he was a huge hit with the children and parents alike. He took time for photos and to talk with each child. Thank you so much, Santa Basil!!!

We had such an incredible experience using Chicago Santas! Santa was early, professional, had an incredible Santa Suit and was so wonderful with our kids! We can't wait to use Chicago Santas next year and hopefully get Santa Chip again!!

We hired simultaneous Santas for a meet and greet at our stores and it all went very smoothly. Our Santas were professional and very realistic.

Santa Rick was a wonderful surprise for the kids (and adults) at my son’s first birthday party. Everyone enjoyed taking photos with and talking to Santa. He looks like the real deal and very easily navigated the party and conversed with people of all ages. I would definitely have Santa Rick back, he was fantastic.

We were so happy with Santa Tim's entertainment! He was sweet and funny and spread holiday cheer. Everyone really enjoyed him! Definitely would bring in Santa Tim in for another event!!

Santa Leo is every bit as charming as we had hoped! He is "the real deal" as everyone remarked after they saw him at the party or in pictures afterwards! Leo is a kind, talented and patient performer, and looks-wise, he is the embodiment of Santa. He even remembered to mention a fun story to my mother, which made her smile. :-)

Santa's presence at my daughter's first birthday will never be forgotten. I'm so glad we booked this appearance. We appreciated the professional phone calls prior to the visit to confirm times and party details. THANK YOU a thousand times over!!!

Great real Santa with real beard

Santa Mark was excellent - great contact prior to the event and right on target for the kids

Santa Robbie was a very good Santa with not a ton of dynamic interaction with the kids but he did everything we asked on Xmas day

Great experience! Real looking santa , very nice man ! Thanks for doing that on Christmas day.

I had SANTA bring an engagement ring for a surprise Christmas engagement and it couldn't have gone better! SANTA Tim stayed in tough prior to the event, was very attentive to detail, and looked like a real santa and all on Christmas night!!!!

The kids loved Santa!!

Santa Ken and Mrs. Claus stopped by our house on Christmas Eve. The whole family was amazed as they watched Santa walk up our driveway. What a surprise for everyone to have Santa pay a personal visit. I thought it would be great for my grandsons and it turned out to be fantastic for all of us. Best Christmas Eve ever.

Santa Mark was the hit of our cocktail Open House... He strolled the party giving out Christmas Cheer and candy canes... Posed for 'elfies' with everyone and then sat for traditional Santa chats and photos... We are thinking 'repeat' like the Cubbies..!

Kids loved him. He was great!

Should up on time, great rapport with kids and adults, and looks perfect!

Santa Rick was amazing ! Everyone loved him and wanted his information! Thank you so much for making our holiday season!

Wow ! is the first word I can think of Amazing is the second.
This was for an office dinner event and everyone can't stop talking about it Santa was personable, friendly, funny, and brought joy and laughter to everyone.

I had Chicago santas come in to visit with our seniors to pass out gifts. He did a great job and was really engaging the residents! We would definitely ask him to come back and also recommend him to other senior communities!

We had Santa Tim for our event and he was wonderful with the kids! He was on time and did a great job entertaining the kids. It was easy to work with ChicagoSantas.com

Santa Rick did a great job...looked perfect for the part. Sang sons with the kids and took the time to take pics with all the kids and adults there. Fantastic job!

Well done. Kids loved him. He looks like the real Santa! Only critique would be to bring an activity with him.

Santa Tim did a fantastic job at our office holiday party. He arrived early, engaged well with all guests (adults and children), was professional, friendly, took great pictures with those who wanted one and does a great "ho ho ho!" I would definitely bring him back for next year.

We had a great experience, santa even stayed to sun happy birthday to my 3 year old!

Very well done

All of the parents and kids loved having Santa at our party. He was a hit!

Awesome experience. Keith was easy to talk with and took extra care to make sure all details were covered.

Santa Gary was awesome. All the children and adults were able to take a photo with him.

Awesome guys. Highly recommended.

Santa came for our holiday party to deliver presents to 14 kids. He did a great job taking pictures with all of the kids and singing Christmas carols with them. This is the second year we used Chicago Santas and they always do an amazing job.

The Santa for our event was perfect! He looked amazing, was great with the kids, and was a pleasure to work with. Would book through them again!

Santa Tim delighted all of our family members on Christmas Eve. Besides being punctual and looking exactly like Santa, Santa Tim charmed everyone and even stayed to help give out the gifts for the adults. We would definitely use Chicago Santas again in a heart beat. We would definitely recommend them and Santa Tim!!!

I CAN'T PUT IT INTO WORDS THE JOY HE BROUGHT ALL OF US. I WOULD DO IT AGAIN!!! THANKS, MARY ELLEN GRAHAM

What a great Santa! Santa Rick was very polite and prompt. He took his time with each child, talking with them and also had a nice sing along. We were extremely pleased. We highly recommend him! 5 stars! Merry Christmas!

Absolutely fantastic! Our Santa Leo was very authentic and did a great job keeping us all entertained. A magical and joyous experience. Thank you

We had Santa KEN come join us at our schools 2 nd annual holiday lunch followed by our program. He was more than amazing and all the kids were perfect no one cried , he looks just like this magical man Santa! He stayed and chatted with us for a few minutes and took some pictures with the adults as well ,?which we were so greatful for. We had a wonderful time and his presence even brought snow for a few minutes, it was just meant to be. Thank you again Santa we loved you!

Thanks much
Stella

Santa was fantastic, we had a photo booth that he was happy to participate we mingled with the crowd and said goodbye to everyone on the way out. Highly recommend!!

Santa was great! Called to check in and was very flexible at the party! 5 big stars!

Santa Chip was awesome. We hired him for a Breakfast with Santa event at our hotel. With tons of kids and adults all over the place, it was a bit chaotic- but Santa Chip went with the flow. He ended up spending quite a bit of time in the photobooth taking pictures with everyone, which our guests loved.

Santa Robbie was very authentic looking, friendly, easy to work with and professional. The entire family (4 generations) are still talking about his visit, thanks Santa!

Santa was a big hit at Celebration Preschool. He was patient with all the children, showed genuine interest as he personally spoke with each one! The children and parents were beaming. Each child had the opportunity to have their photograph take with him! Would highly recommend Santa Tim!

Had to cancel since first Santa scheduled could not come at all due to scheduling problem. Second Santa could not guarantee he could be on time due to prior gig and travel time. Played Santa myself, once again, and enjoyed. This is probably why I've never hired an outside Santa before. I hope I don't get ANY type of charge for this.

Santa was on time and worked out great with our show and with the kids.

My family had a blast last night with Santa Steve. He made the kids feel very comfortable; he told them stories, he asked them questions, he even called them by name and read the letters out loud.

We look forward to seeing Santa Steve next year!

We only have great things to say about "Santa's visit" our kids had a great time. Our Santa was very patient with our kids, talked with them and told them stories. He was on time, let us take as many pictures as we liked ... We definitely would like the same santa at our family christmas event next year and many more!

He was a hit! So much so, my sister wondered if he was single....just kidding, we do not want trouble with Mrs. C! He was patient with the 6 children and 15 adults. This was a huge surprise for all but me and they about had a heart attack when he came through the door! Would heartily recommend. Loved his real beard!

This past Saturday, we hosted an employee Santa Breakfast. Santa Steve was great! All of the kids got their picture taken with him, but he also took the time to ask them what they wanted for Christmas. He made the children feel special with the amount of time he spent with them. After pictures concluded, he also went around and spoke with the children again. He engaged with the employees. Santa Steve also said goodbye to everyone. Again, he did a wonderful job!!
